This is the second of two exchange concerts between CNMAT (UC Berkeley) and CCRMA (Stanford).
This concert presents faculty and graduate student composers associated with the Center for
New Music and Audio Technologies working in electroacoustic media, including an eclectic mix
of pieces for live electronics, electronics with acoustic instruments, installation, and tape.

Jean-Claude Risset's music is situated at the crossroad between art, science and technology.
A true pioneer in the integration of music, sound and technology, Risset has expanded
the role of composer and physicist alike by exploring the microstructure of sound through
computer-based analysis and synthesis. CCRMA is pleased to offer this concert featuring a
retrospective of his compositional work.

CCRMA/SARC present a networked piano duo in which Mark Applebaum and Pedro Rebelo,
playing 7000 miles apart explore improvised responses to 'being there' and 'being apart'.
The event uses software developed both at CCRMA and SARC for audio transfer and graphic visualisation.

In collaboration with the Computer History Museum, and in celebration of Max Mathews' eightieth birthday,
six composers and lifelong friends from around the world, will be presenting a retrospective of his work
and influence through technology and music.

The Stanford Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jindong Cai presents a
concert featuring pieces by Stanford composers and a performance of the legendary

A pioneering center in musical research, the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM),
is the heart of French musical creation. A unique place where creation, research and conservation
in the fields of sound and electroacoustic music coexist.

It was during his research work on the use and transformation of recorded sounds, that Pierre Schaeffer
"invented" musique concrète in 1948. Ten years later, he created the Groupe de Recherches
Musicales, now part of the French Radio Television (RTF) Research Service.

"The spontaneous composition, improvisation or real time composition,
requires immediate reaction, good structural memory to negotiate within the
sonic objects been generated, a vast literature and skills in instrumental
techniques and a higher coercive level of perception in order to create a
clear and coherent instantaneous discourse.
In this concert I share my experience as a performer-composer within a
multi-platform programming environments involving signal processing and
machine learning techniques." Roberto Morales

WireGriot seeks to (re)construct a repertoire for solo voice that is actively challenged and enhanced by the use of
technology through a shared desire to explore the blurry borders of contemporary music. By showing the voice in three
stages-highly exposed and alone, manically disguised, and calmly blended within an electronic albeit 'natural' surrounding-
Camille Hesketh and Juan Parra seek contrasting ways in which a human voice can be used to express to both the cognitive and
intuitive senses.

Stefan Östersjö is at present one of the most active musicians in the contemporary field in Sweden, with regular performances at major

Many composers (including Giacomo Manzoni and Ennio Morricone) have written pieces for soprano Tiziana Scandaletti and for pianist-composer Riccardo Piacentini, both of whom are graduated with top marks in History of Music as well as in their respective fields of performance.
